Layered Parotta with Aloo Gobi

Layered Parotta

I like long car journey's, ... becoz we get to stop at Dhabas for lunch and dinners :) I enjoy Dhaba food, esp, sitting on the cots and having garma garam food and lassi :), and one of my favorite is the parotta, which is served with some gravy or dal.Once me and my mom, observed the way the cook at the dhaba, works on the dough and tried at home, but it was never a success.Recently I have come across this blog here, which showed the step by step process. This has come out very well, just like the parottas, made by a profi.

Cinnamon... you got such perfect looking parottas. My dad makes these very well but from what I've seen it's very time-consuming and uses a LOT of oil so never really attempted it. But your recipe only uses 1 tbsp - that's very good!

Even I fondest memory is the "Poori and Bhaji" which I ate at a roadside Dhaba while on my way to "Basara" - a place here in Andhra Pradesh, that too at the age of 10. hehe.. Love the parottas dear and the gobhi florets look so cute.. :D

Wow, you made layered parottas... That is awesome... I have to try these too, I absolutely love parottas but have been depending on the super oily frozen ones to satisfy the cravings... Time to take matters into my own hand... Yours look perfect!

ISG, ya, parotta is very comforting!Valli, paneer butter masala, make a great combi with parottas!!Asha, Thank You dear!Sia, even I cant roll a round chapathi, but for parotta, shape doesnt matter... so just go ahead :)Sandeepa, yeah, this is famous in Dhabas in SOuth India.. a must try!!Laavanya.. it does take lot of oil dear, that 1 tbsp is for kneading, we need lot more whiling rolling it out. I corrected my post :)Raaga, thank you.Sirisha, Thank you dear...Bindiya, Thanks :)Lakshmi, Dhaba food is almost everyone's fav :) Have not checked Cynthia's yet.. have to now :)TBC, Thank You :)Padma, I though it was difficult seeing the process, but its quite easy, though its time consuming :)Seena, ya, i have seen the dhaba cooks make it in a different way... that is far more difficult :)Sunita..thank YouPooja, try it, and do let me know, how it came out!!

Wow they just look great. I am also going to try this one. I have seen before the recipe in Anitas blog but never dared to make them. But now that you tried and it looks so good , i might also give it a tryMe too love Dhaba food. I think they are the best. No 5 star hotels can match them :-)

when you look at the pros you think it is so easy...then you go home and try it out..and well..you realise that it is an utter flop!! happened to me a couple of times :)..love the parotta and it looks like a pro made it too..

Your parotta reminded me of the ones I used to have at my mom's place. We had a cook who made this so well. Now I don't have any contact with her. I've always thought that if I ever see her again I should get the recipe. Anyway, I was happy to see yours. Thanks for sharing this.Aloo gobi looks great too.
